Last three times I bought a kebab from Anatolia Restaurant has caused me to have diarrhoea pretty bad. Therefore I conclude the diarrhoea is caused from eating the kebabs at Anatolia. Won't be going back. Also the taste of the food has got worse, but the price has increased. I don't mind paying more if the food is good, but if you pay for me I won't be eating from Anatolia Restaurant again; I want to avoid diarrhoea and potentially food poisoning. Staff are miserable and I think most of their customers are drunks. The last three times I ate their food, within a few hours I started to have stomach pains and had to run to the toilet and sat so long caused other issues which I should not go into. I think the health people should close this place down.

I used to come here a lot, but the quality of the lamb shish meat has gone right downhill. The last time I picked up a takeaway the meat was chewy and fatty so I ended up throwing most of it away. The salad, rice and bread were all lovely though. I will give it another try before writing it off completely!

Had a takeaway from here.
Very friendly staff.
The food was amazingly tasty and tender. All meats served with rice and salad. Great to see it being cooked infront of us. Staff gave us black tea whilst we waited
Reasonably priced too

We recently went out for a dinner to this restaurant. We ordered mixed grill for two. The portion was very big. If you are starving - this is a spot for you. However, when it comes to the taste and quality, you may be a bit let down. The meat wasn't the best, especially compared to other Turkish places in the area. Also ,we asked for no rice with our meal, yet a mountain of rice still showed up. We didn't eat it, so it was a waste of food. When we asked for extra sauce (not once, twice), we were ignored by the waiter.
If you are really hungry, I recommend this place to you due to the portion sizes. But if you are looking for a good quality, tasty Turkish meal you may want to check somewhere else.

This is a new discovery for me because I am rarely in this part of London. However, the food is really good, well prepared, honest food, made with love by an all male squad of people in the kitchen, expertly grilling, and warming up bread on charcoal, giving a Smokey flavour to everything we ate. The portions are big and the main dishes ( we had a chicken kebab and a lamb kebab) come with rice and a salad, as does the exceptional humus we had. The service is attentive and unobtrusive and they are always there when needed. We went in a Sunday evening, after the cinema, and the restaurant was empty, so no atmosphere at all, but the food and the service were so good that I was left baffled by the fact this gem of a restaurant was empty. The quality of everything we ate was exceptional and the prices were very low for the quantity, and quality, of the food we had. Definitely worth the journey to Mare street for!

We had a wonderful family meal at Anatolia Restaurant. The service was great, and everyone there were welcoming and accommodating. Both food and drink were incredible! Highly recommended for family gatherings.

The best place! My boyfriend and I come here pretty regularly and the food is spot on and super generous. The service is always friendly.
